    Upon looking you up in QRZ I notice you are now the owner of an Elecraft K3.  There is no mention of your old Ten-Tec gear.  It seems a lot of QRQ ops are going in the Elecraft direction and it looks like it's almost becoming the "new Ten-Tec".  I am the owner of a Jupiter (the old grey one) two Triton 540's and an Omni B.  Looks like I'll have to try an Elecraft sooner or later..hihi.
